Your healing acts just as damage would from another member of the party. It is designed that way for balance.
The trick is not to do more healing (damage) than the tank is doing.
Well not really...
Healers get aggro equal to half the amount they heal.....
Example #1: Tank holds aggro on 1 mob. You use Gheal and heal tank for 1000. In this case u get 500 "points" of aggro. Exception are paladins which get 1/4 of the amount they healed.
Example #2: Tank holds aggro on 4 mobs at once. You heal him for the same 1000. u get 500:4=125 "points" of agroo on each mob. This is because healing agro is divided equally between un-CC-ed mobs (ie. not saped/trapped/sheeped/seduced/etc).

Third trick is use smaller heals and older ranked heals and don't overheal.
Example #3: Tank holds aggro on 1 mob. mob hist tank for 1.5k dmg. Your Gheal crits tank for 7k. You gain 1.500/2=750 "points" of aggro.. Overhealing does not count.. since you heal the tank only for 1.5k .. that's the amount that gets taken into account. the rest is just wasted mana and heal.. but does not afect your aggro.
Use fade when mobs come to you.
Do NOT renew the tank before the pull... why?
Example #4: you renew tank before pull (eg warrior). tank uses bloodrage before pull to get some rage (but loses some health). Tank pulls 3 mobs. before tank gets aggro on all mobs renew ticks and heals warr. Priest gets aggro. Mobs go for priest.. and if he is lucky and he is in a heroic.. Priest dies ^_^.
So use renew after the encounter has started.
Use fade when mobs come to you
On a side note.. i have to correct this:

Wrong!. tanks do not do a lot of dmg.. they are there to hold aggro via class specific skills(sunder/shield slam/maul/swipe/Tclap/etc/etc).. The dps and healers need to hold their
aggro lvl beneath the tank's aggro line.. not to do less dmg than the tank.
Erm.. that's about all i can write now.. hope it helped
